Actually, the idea of #CalExit has already gone beyond a Twitter joke: ‘Yes California Independence Campaign’ group is holding a rally in Sacramento on Wednesday to gather support.

“In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values, and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children,” the group’s manifesto states.

Another popular hashtag was #Caleavefornia, with tweets from outraged Californians as they followed the presidential election results.

California has world's 6th largest economy. And legal weed. And dolphins. #Caleavefornia
